NCSSM: North Carolina School of Science and Math. It is a public high school, and students live on campus. It only takes juniors. NCSSM.edu

I think they'd have a pretty hard time rejecting you, but I know virtually nothing about the NCSSM process. See if your guidance counselors have any data on past students who've applied.

Good luck on getting in--it's an awesome school, from what I know about it. As long, of course, as you can handle the workload :)
